    "Yet, it seems that till today, many men still feel that housework is a woman’s work. This attitude has been handed down through many generations from father to son &, in most cases, if the mother did everything for the male child, he assumes that it is her job.. When a woman enters into a relationship with someone, she cannot be expected to do everything, while he sits on the couch" 🇸🇬
